This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
When you die
You have to leave them behind
You should keep that in mind
When you keep that in mind
You'll find
A love as big as the sky
You have to leave them behind
You should keep that in mind
When you keep that in mind
You'll find
A love as big as the sky

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
thanks alot. i was trying to discern by the song alone, which was...hard
"you'll find a love as big as the sky"
it's even posted on their website
The decision to include actual vocals in this song doesn't ruin it. It's my favorite from the new album, and perhaps my favorite dmst song ever.
love
this song sounds like falling in love.
My thoughts exactly. I love this song so much...
this song sounds like being free to me...flying like a bird over the ocean or something. beautiful.
Pure perfection!
If they play this one when I see them next week I'll shit myself. (well, probably not, but I will make a spectacle, guarenteed!)
live, this song is a fucking explosion...a fucking orgasm. everything was so loud and all members of the band were screaming it into one mic....it was beautiful.
The meaning of this song seemed to me to connect well with A With Living. The latter was, to me, about being in tune with the universe and everything, basically about inner peace and happiness.
This song, to me, is about realisation that you are not eternal, that you will die someday and that when you do, all the things and people you loved will be gone. Realising that things are not eternal, that they will one day end, will make you love them and appreciate them more, thus finding a "love as big as the sky."
This song is basically about enjoying and loving life because it will someday end.
I think the song could have two views. One would be when you're alive, you should appreciate the people who love you because you won't be with them forever. If there is a heaven we all go to, then I think the song could be saying that you shouldn't be afraid to die because you'll find a greater life on the other side. But the way the song sounds doesn't really fit this meaning, for me. It gives me the sense that you've moved on from a life you loved, but didn't want to leave because you were comfortable with it. And now that you're moving on, you realize how good life is.
